Nurture Your Success

“Whatever happens to you belongs to you. Make it yours. Feed it to yourself even if it feels impossible to swallow. Let it nurture you, because it will.” – Cheryl Strayed

Life is about increase. 

A seed remains dormant until it is planted. After it has been planted, it goes through a process of becoming before any obvious change is seen. The planting in itself is a success when you begin to see the seed forming roots and budding but what promotes its growth is nuture.

It might seem like you have been clarifying your dreams and building in the dark; do not be discouraged. When a seed is planted and waiting for an emergence it remains in the dark.

Trying to find your way is one of the many things that occur when you are in the dark. Mistakes may occur; do not stop at the point of the mistakes. Rather, gain understanding and master how not to repeat the same mistakes instead focus on your newfound knowledge on how to do it right. Apply this knowledge and tweak it to make it yours.

Time may appear to pass slowly but stay focused on your progress and pay attention to your process. Learn to encourage yourself through the several stages of your development. Give room for your mind to absorb different perspectives. This would expand your mind in more ways than you could have ever imagined. Laozi said, “Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”

Begin to see even the tiniest progress as growth and you would see that your mind becomes accustomed to growing and increasing as life originally designed it. 

As Eric Butterworth said, “Don’t go through life, grow through life.”
